Every anime has its own storyline, and it is not that unusual for anime to have some deaths. Just like in real life, the deaths of anime characters are inevitable. The best way to remember and honor some of the characters in an anime is to end their story in a glorious way. Especially when fans have such a strong affinity for the character. On this occasion, Dunia Games would like to give you a list of the most heroic and iconic deaths in anime. Without further ado, let's get into it.

1. Rengoku Kyojuro - Demon Slayer

Rengoku managed to steal the hearts of the fans with his charismatic personality and great commitment to truth, justice, and loyalty. His battle with the Upper Rank Demon, Akaza, was a relentless battle of deadly blows and his superhuman stamina. Rengoku was willing to take blow after blow to protect Tanjiro and Inosuke.

Rengoku's death is one of the saddest deaths that left the deepest wound on fans. Especially when he sits during his final moments facing Tanjiro and Inosuke and reassuring them of their strength. He died smiling, which makes it one of the most honorable deaths in anime.

2. Carla Yeager - Attack On Titan

Carla Yeager's death is one of the most gruesome deaths in the earlier parts of the series. Once the Titans broke through Wall Maria for the first time in 100 years and wreaked havoc on the Shiganshina District, the townspeople were scattered, running in fear. Eren, who was still really young at the time, found his mother trapped under a falling house beam. Later on, Captain Hannes arrived to save Carla and her children. Yet Carla begged Hannes to leave her and save the children instead. Hannes then took Eren and Mikasa away, whereas Carla was being pulled from the wreckage by a Titan and then eaten before her young son's eyes.

3. Baji - Tokyo Revengers

Baji made a selfless sacrifice to protect his childhood friend, Kazutora. Despite the complex relationship between Kazutora and Toman's members, Baji always had Kazutora's back. Baji always understood Kazutora's different perceptions that can't be understood well by the other Toman members.

In a massive gang war, Mikey was beating Kazutora relentlessly before Baji got up and stopped Mikey. But then he later found out that he's been stabbed with a knife. Baji was losing so much blood, but he managed to free Kazutora from making an action that he would regret later on, as well as free Mikey from killing Kazutora in retaliation. His immense love for his childhood friend led to his own demise, but it was clearly a sacrifice he was willing to make.
